A Christian nation?

This article from Harper's Magazine, reprinted on Sojourners web site, is important reading, I think:

It's about our failures as a supposedly "Christian" nation where the face and voice of the Christian faith is often the Religious Right. What it doesn't cover (much) is the ways in which the Religious Left also misses the point, but it's gently provocative reading nonetheless.

UPDATE: here's the link to the article where it was originally published, on Harper's. If you don't feel like registering for Sojourners, read it here instead (no registration required):
